Your sleep position can also prevent wrinkles. Experts believe that sleeping on your stomach or on your side when your face is being pushed in that same position over and over again can be a problem. They recommend sleeping on your back with a pillow under your knees to prevent rolling.

Speaking of sleep, we also must realize the importance role it plays when it comes to skin care and the appearance of our skin. A recent study suggested that people who slept eight hours a night were actually perceived by others to be not just more beautiful and more attractive physically, but healthier. When a person sleeps, their whole body, including their skin, rejuvenates. Re-hydration takes place during sleep, which means the cells of the skin repair themselves during the night.
